On your way to the station or bus stop tomorrow - please take a diversion to Prince Edward Road - and go hug a tree.

A stunning giant Tulip Tree to be exact! She has been planted right next to the Hackney Pearl - and is absolutely beautiful. She will be giving us all many more years of shelter, shade & fresh air.

She was put there by the muf (http://www.muf.co.uk/mprofile.htm) team who are prettying up parts of the Wick with green ideas. We will be posting a few more of their projects in the next few days - but in the mean-time - please go & say hi to your new neighbour.

Ooh & while you're there - why not pop into the Pearl (http://thehackneypearl.com/) for one of their delicious choccie brownies & a cuppa.

Welcome!!

We all love Hackney Wick - and want to see our lives here improve day by day.

By contributing to this blog we will all feel as if we have a say in how we want our neighbourhood to be.

Of course we could all use it as a whinge blog to whine on about the rubbish collections or cars parked on the sidewalk - BUT - how about we all use it to make our lives a lot more positive?!

How about we all use it to organise litter pick-up days, or comunal barbeques in the green opposite St Mary's, or meetings to get Hackney Council to change something, or to put pressure on the Olympic Delevery Authority to deliver a Legacy appropriate to us? Anything!!
